I'm willing to beg, to starve I don't want to own anything I only want to live to live.... My God! Red Feather did not utter a word. But with the stealthy lightness and litheness of a panther, he stepped over the seat and moved toward Gledware. Then Gledware, pushed to the last extremity, despairing of the interposition of some miraculous chance, was forced back upon himself.
Resolved not to intervene again in these delicate affairs, he crouched as closely as he could to the earth, wishing the panther neither to see nor to hear him, but curious himself to know what it would do. The beast stalked out into the open, and it was magnified greatly by the luminous quality of the moonlight.
Suddenly she saw the tawny side of the panther directly before her seemingly it was at the end of the rifle barrel. The beast was crouching to leap.

And with this thought in her mind, Ruth steadied the rifle as best she could and pulled the trigger.

His nose was thin and arched like an Arab sheik's, and the close black hair was chafed from his temples in a seeming baldness.

This cavernous place a Western writer has made the scene of a desperate encounter between Big Tom and a catamount, or American panther, which had been caught in a trap and dragged it there, pursued by Wilson.

"Leave dat to me," said Paul; "me find honest woman who fight like one panther 'fore she let any one come into de house." As a precautionary measure, we concealed all the most valuable articles we could find; leaving, however, a few silver forks and spoons to mislead plunderers, who might suppose that they were the only things in the house worth taking.
